Hi Carl, Thanks for the answer, however I do not see an "Advanced" tab for prpoerties of "Internet Message Formats" in the Exchange System Manager 2003 properties for "Global Settings", "Internet Message Formats". I just see the "General", Details" and "Security" tabs. Is there somewhere else on the server I should be looking?
